Sale price$175.00 Regular price$195.00

A Lover's Eye oil painting encased in an antique oval dark wood frame with a stand back and loop for hanging, measuring 2.2" by 2.75".

THE HISTORY: Lover's Eyes were a jewelry trend c.1785-1830 of brooches set with tiny watercolor portraits on ivory. Since they were cropped to eyes, they were in many ways more direct and intimate than traditional miniature portraits; but also because they were just eyes, they were often used as daring public testimonies of clandestine love affairs with mystery lovers.
